The first portion of this article, the ‘yes’ portion, argues that positive psychology can make us happier. Julia Boehm and Sonja Lyubomirsky are the two who wrote this section of the article. They believe that every individual has their own level of happiness. They also believe that after every event, whether it is positive or negative, a person will revert back to their baseline level of happiness. The article also states that a person’s level of happiness has very little to do with their life and lifestyle, as most people would believe. This level is, however, based more on one’s genetic makeup. This fact means that happy people and unhappy people are likely to perceive the world differently. For example, happy people are more likely to view the world in a more positive light, while unhappy people view the world, and interpret events in a more negative way.

Boehm and Lyubomirsky conducted many experiments in order to prove their argument. One experiment involved the subject and an accessory, who were supposed to solve anagrams. When the accessory was slower at solving these than the subject, both the unhappy and happy subjects responded positively because their confidence was boosted. However, when the accessory was quicker than the subject, the responses changed. The happy people did not change their opinion on their own skills, but the unhappy people discredited their skills. Many other experiments similar to this one were conducted, and the results of all of the experiments were similar. The happy people viewed their experience in a positive way, while the unhappy people did not.

When happiness interventions were instilled, the entire group of subjects showed an increase in happiness compared to those who received no treatment. What separated the two groups was their reaction when the treatments stopped. When this happened, the happy people continued to be happy. The unhappy group, however,...

...Happy endings are presumed to belong to the realm of fantasy. In real life, after all, even a thumping electoral victory is generally more a first act than a last; what ensues, much too often, is disappointment, broken promises and even murmurs of a recall. When the believer, in any faith, tells us that the reward for bloody sacrifice is eternal joy, the nonbeliever is often tempted to think that the believer is merely trying to justify the ways of God to man. On earth at least,...

Though primarily an animated film, Happy Feet does incorporate motion capture of live action humans in certain scenes. The film was simultaneously released in both conventional theatres and in IMAX 2D format.[2] The studio had hinted that a future IMAX 3D release was a possibility.

...Happy Days by Samuel Beckett
The play ’Happy Days’ is a humorously dark and ambiguous play. The play is primarily a one-woman show. It is an interesting play that wrestles with themes of loneliness and extreme optimism in the face of utter hopelessness.
The play unfolds rather loosely as we are introduced to Winnie, a middle-aged, happy-go-lucky woman buried up to her waist in sand. Behind her and hidden from view sleeps Willie, her husband....

...of a group. They can be seen to be merely out of place. Other factors, however, can make a person in the ‘right place’ feel like they do not belong. This is evident when exploring Alex Buzo’s script “Norm and Ahmed”, George Miller’s animation film “Happy Feet” and the Shaun Tan’s graphic novel “The Arrival”. Through utilising a range of language features and techniques, composers are able to emphasise the idea of ‘the outsider’ in these three texts.
